Chris Smalling

Chris Smalling       Trumps
Heading 8
Strong in the air and can win headers in either box.
Tackling 8
A good, strong tackler, when he is positioned correctly to put one in.
Passing 5
This is the weakest part of his game. He seems to panic on the ball, especially when he has time and space.
Strength 7
Strong, though he can be mentally weak and lose the physical battle by losing his head and putting himself in the wrong place.
Pace 8
Very quick for a centre back.

Marcos Rojo

Marcos Rojo       Trumps
Heading 7
Decent in the air when he has a run and leap, as his leap is excellent. However he is not tall enough to win a standing battle with a big opponent.
Tackling 8
Strong and aggressive in the tackle, however he can often be over-aggressive.
Passing 7
Decent on the ball, which is why he is able to slot in at full-back without too many issues.
Strength 7
Strong enough to ensure that, added to his natural aggression, he is very rarely outdone in a physical battle.
Pace 7
Quick enough to be a passable full-back but not exceptionally so.
